syllable was spelled " bae-". When it was first validly published by Doubleday in 1849 on 

 plate 48, it appeared in the defective spelling " be-", which was however corrected to " bae-" 

 by Westwood in the text of the same work published (in 1850) after Doubleday's death. This 

 is considered to be a clear case of an original spelling " beotus " being demonstrably due to an 

 inadvertent error. In accordance with the provisions of Article 32(a) of the revised Code the 

 spelling " baeotus " used in the text of the same work is the Correct Original Spelling. If 

 however the view were to be taken that the spellings " beotus " and " baeotus " should be 

 regarded as a pair of Incorrect Original Spellings and therefore that this case should be dealt 

 with under Section (c) of Article 32 instead of under Section (a) of that Article, the spelling 

 " baeotus " would still rank as the Correct Original Spelling, it having been used in preference 

 to the spelling " beotus " by Westwood, acting as First Reviser in 1850 (in the text of Double- 

 day's book) . 



The generic name Baeotus was introduced in order to provide an available name for the 

 genus hitherto incorrectly known by the name Megistanis Doubleday, 1844. The latter is an 

 available name but Scudder's selection in 1875 (Proc. amer. Acad. ArtsSci., Boston 10 : 213) 

 of Megistanis baeotus as type-species was invalid because at that time the name Megistanis 

 baeotus was (as already noted) only a manuscript name, and no description or indication for it 

 was then provided by Doubleday. 

 BAHORA Moore, 1883, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1883 : 245. Type-species by original designation : 

 Euploea philomela Zinken, 1831, Nova Acta Leop. Carol. 15 (1) : 184, pi. 16, fig. 17. 



By a First Reviser choice made in 1937 (Lep. Cat. 78 : 135) Bryk accorded to Bahora Moore 

 precedence below the name Ravadeba Moore, 1883, published in the same paper and on the 

 same date. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Euploea philomela Zinken is currently treated 

 subjectively on taxonomic grounds as representing a subspecies of the taxon represented by 

 the nominal species Papilio aspasia Fabricius, 1787, Mantissa Ins. 2 : 15. 



BAKERIA Tutt, [1907], Nat. Hist. Brit. Butts 2 : 142. Type-species by original designation : 

 Lycaena ledereri Boisduval, 1848, Bull. Soc. ent. Fr. 1848 : 29. 



The name Bakeria Tutt is invalid, because it is a junior homonym of the name Bakeria 

 Kieffer, 1905 {Ann. Mus. civ. Stor. nat. Genova 42 : 34). 



BALANGA Moore, [1898] Lep. ind. 3 (32) : 146. Type-species by original designation : 

 Athyma kasa Moore, 1858, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 26 (cccxlviii) : 19, pi. 51, fig. 6. 



When establishing this nominal genus Moore designated its type-species but did not give a 

 diagnosis ; this he provided in a later Part (Part 34) of the same volume ( : 208) published in 

 the same year. 



The name Balanga Moore was published on the same date (and in the same work) as the 

 name Parathyma Moore, and in consequence the relative precedence to be accorded to these 

 names depends on the choice of the First Reviser. This was made by myself in 1964 (Annot. 

 lep. (3) : 80), when I accorded precedence to the name Balanga Moore below the name Para- 

 thyma Moore. 



BALIGNINA Moore, [1902], Lep. ind. 5 (57) : 187. Type-species by original designation : 

 Papilio neptunus Guerin-Meneville, [Feb. 1840], Rev. zool. (Soc. Cuv.) : 343. 



The name Balignina Moore was published on the same date and in the same work as the 

 name Losaria Moore, and in consequence the relative precedence to be accorded to these 

 names depends on the choice made by the First Reviser. That choice was made by myself 

 in 1964 (Annot. lep. (3) : 85) when I accorded precedence to the name Balignina Moore below 

 the name Losaria Moore. 



BALIOCHILA Stempffer & Bennett, 1953, Bull. Br. Mus. nat. Hist., (Ent.) 3 : 85. Type- 

 species by original designation : Lycaena aslauga Trimen, 1873, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. 1873 : 

 117. 



BALONCA Moore, [1901], Lep. ind. 5 (52) : 73. Type-species by original designation :
